Most of the female students who entered the academy were quite well-off, some of them scattered their wealth to support male students, but they were abandoned, and some were not wives and concubines, and they were not allowed to be in their parents' families, and some were willing to degenerate and become men's playthings.

More and more male students are reluctant to marry these female students who study in the academy with them, although they appreciate their knowledge and feelings, but psychologically they always feel that they get along with men day and night, not as good as those ladies who do not go out of the door and do not step out of the door, even if they are willing, the elders in the family will never allow it.

However, in the past ten years, it has become more and more difficult for the female students of the academy to marry Ruyi Langjun, and some of them are determined, so they devote themselves to studying and entering the office, and have never been married in their lives, and those pedantic masters have come out to advocate the disadvantages of women entering the academy and want to expel women from the academy.

Soon, almost all the academies in the world no longer accept women to study, and even Guozijian listed the female students, no longer taught them the way to help the people through the world, only taught them to read some scriptures, learn some piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, except for the world's first Hongshan Academy, but the women who can be admitted to Hongshan Academy are simply rare.

Even if a woman wanted to go to school, she couldn't find a good gentleman who was willing to teach women, so the trend of women's imperial examinations soon quietly disappeared, and although Mrs. Cheng knew that these two daughters were talented in reading, she had never made up her mind to let them go on the path of the imperial examination.

But if Empress Dowager Cheng has to let Cheng Jin enter the palace, then she will only have the road of the imperial examination, as long as she has fame, then she must be a wife, even if the other party is Emperor Longqing, according to the rules of the ancestors, she must also be the queen, which is absolutely unbearable for Empress Dowager Cheng and Emperor Longqing, and it completely blocked her way into the palace.

Cheng Jin looked at Mrs. Cheng's desperate face and knew that she had made up her mind, and would rather bear the monstrous anger of the Empress Dowager Cheng than be reluctant to let her enter the palace, although she had also talked to Cheng Chan about being willing to take the imperial examination, but she was unwilling to let the Empress Dowager Cheng suffer this pain in this situation.

"A-Niang, don't worry so much, this matter is not in a hurry, there are so many sisters in the family, and the Queen Mother does not have to be me. In fact, she wants someone to enter the palace, which is nothing more than to consolidate her status and power, as long as she is a girl of the Cheng family, whether it is a concubine, even if it is a distant side branch, the most important thing is to have a heart with her, and she can hold it in the palm of her hand. In the future, I will make some trouble to let her know that I am restless, I am afraid that she is not willing to let my hot potato into the palace, the niece of my relatives is good, but when there is no room to choose, I don't care too much, I can always find a willing replacement. Cheng Jin said with a smile.

She has seen a lot of this kind of method, and she is not as nervous as Mrs. Cheng, Empress Dowager Cheng wants to form an alliance, not to make enemies, even if she gives Mrs. Cheng a color today, she doesn't dare to really tear her face, this is her maiden brother and sister after all, and she is the most reliable person in her mother's family, Empress Dowager Cheng seems to have a high status, but in fact she is isolated in the harem, otherwise she would not be so jealous of the future Empress Cui, she still has to compromise when it is time to compromise.

What's more, Cheng Jin is still young, who can say for sure what will happen in the future.

Mrs. Cheng was still worried, "Where did our Cheng family have such a big face and dare to send the girl from the concubine and the side branch into the palace?" You're born so well, I'm so afraid, I'm so afraid......"

"Don't worry, the Queen Mother doesn't want me to enter the palace in her heart, but she is just using me to test the emperor's reaction." Cheng Jin was relaxed from beginning to end.

"Why?" Mrs. Cheng didn't understand very much, after all, the Queen Mother threatened her with Cheng Jin just now.

"When the emperor came to Cining Palace, he answered me, I inadvertently saw the queen mother's brows move slightly, as if she didn't want the emperor to talk to me too much, even if I was good, I was still a fool before, even if I was the daughter of the Cheng family, she didn't want the emperor to be too close to me, otherwise this reputation would be too ugly."

After all, Empress Dowager Cheng is a scheming queen mother, not as reckless as those in the Chengen Hou Mansion, if Cheng Jin enters the palace, it is difficult to guarantee that the people on Empress Cui's side will say that in order to consolidate her position, even fools are stuffed into Emperor Longqing's harem, so what prestige does she have?

"But what she said just now is that she wants you to enter the palace." Mrs. Cheng still couldn't let go, "Even if the Queen Mother doesn't like you, as long as the emperor is interesting to you, she will definitely force you to enter the palace." ”

"Then the emperor has to be interesting to me," Cheng Jinle said, "The eldest sister is virtuous and virtuous, everything is good, the queen mother originally belonged to her, why did she suddenly change her mind?" Naturally, it's not just for the matter of the prince of Qi, I'm afraid that the emperor used this matter to hint at the queen mother, and he didn't want to let the eldest sister enter the palace, and the queen mother understood it, so she hit me with the idea. In fact, her abacus is crooked, the emperor doesn't dislike the eldest sister, but he doesn't like our entire Cheng family. ”

"Nonsense! We are the emperor's uncle's family, and we have always been close to ...... "Mrs. Cheng can't listen to others say that her children are not good, even Cheng Jin herself can't say it."

"It's one thing to be close, we're useless," Cheng Jin said with a smile, "The emperor has just been in power, the power of all parties has yet to be balanced, and the positions of the first queen and four concubines in the palace can be used to win over the courtiers, all of them are very expensive, why waste it on our Cheng family?" If the concubine of the Cheng family or the woman of the side branch enters the palace, it is just a matter of giving a position to make the queen mother happy, but my eldest sister and I are both the daughters of the Marquis of Chengen, and his cousin is not given the position of one of the four concubines, and he can't say anything to anyone, but how can the emperor be willing to waste such a precious position on us useless people? So anyone can enter the palace, even the side daughters of our Cheng family, but my eldest sister and I are the most unlikely, I think there is something strange about the eldest sister meeting the prince of Qi, maybe the emperor is fueling the trouble. ”

Mrs. Cheng could vaguely guess Emperor Longqing's thoughts, but she didn't expect that the matter of Cheng Chan and King Qi's son would also be the shadow of Emperor Longqing, and when Cheng Jin said this, she felt that there was a chance that this matter would be nine times out of ten, and Emperor Longqing could be regarded as she grew up, where did she think that this young man would have such a cold and deep mind, and she didn't expect that her young daughter would be calm and rational when she talked about these things.

"Is that what you kids think now?" Mrs. Cheng thought that when she was as old as Cheng Jin, she was still reading books and eating snacks carefree, and at most she was troubled by the battle of will between the ladies, and she felt more and more that the children now were terrifyingly shrewd.
